What Cole is talking about

Cole started saying the dreaded "nooo" the other day and now says it ALOT. It's helpful when it comes to meal times- we can point to something and he says "noooo" if he doesn't want it. In case you didn't know, his first word (besides dada and mama) was lasanga (he said it perfectly only once). His first real word was Ball. Here are some other words he's been saying lately.

• Lay (play)
• Side (either inside or outside)
• Melmo (Elmo)
• Elp (help)
• Whadat (what's that)
• choo-choo
• Moo
• Ello (hello or Jello depending on context)
• cak cak (quack quack)
• and a bunch of other incoherent (albeit adorable) nonsense

Dancing Machine

Here is a clip of Cole dancing. He only dances for 5-10 seconds at a time. But it's full force!!

Uh-oh

Cole's newest thing. It's soo cute, it makes me CRAZY!!!

We'd like to say...

CONGRATULATIONS to our friends Anne and Nick on their engagement!!! We are soooo excited for you! A special Congrats to you Nick for being romantic. YIPPIE! We love you guys.

Terre Haute Air Faire

This weekend we went to the Terre Haute Air Faire which is a festival and air show all in one. We saw paratroopers, a BlackHawk helicopter, a wing-walker (yawn), but the highlight was the F-15 demostration. It was very cool. We also saw a semi-truck cab that's outfitted with 3 jet engines- the SHOCKWAVE. It went 356mph. It was cool too. Cole had a good time- lots of people to look at and sky writing was fun too.

Cole's latest thing

Hi everyone. Cole has recently learned how to open doors by himself (watch video below). Now we really can't leave him alone for a second- he'll be half way down the hall!! He likes to knock on doors too. Enjoy 8-)

Yee-hah! To the Rodeo we go!!

Today we went to a rodeo. It was crazy hot! This is the second rodeo we've been to. At the first one we learned that Cole loves bullriding, so we went again. In one of the pictures below, all the kids in the crowd 12 and under went into the arena and chased some calves around to get a ribbon off their tails. It was so cute. We didnt stay for the bullriding today because- I mentioned how hot it was. We're really in the swing of things now in Indiana!!

A day at the Indy zoo

A few weeks ago we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. Cole really liked the polar bear and the dolphin show. Ironically in the first picture, Cole is eating animal crakers (bad karma?)Here are a couple of pictures....

We're back!

Welcome everyone. I thought it was about time (almost a year has gone by) to start another page for you guys to keep in touch with us and, of course, for us to show off our beautiful son. (I'm sure Grandma Judy can barely contain herself right now.) I'm really not a writer so I plan on using this blog mainly to post pictures. Also, I'm sure I won't get around to posting on a daily (or maybe, weekly) basis but will do my best. If you keep this in mind, we'll get along just fine. Please check in often to see what's up!
